 Important Job Safety Tips

  1. Never Pay for a Job – Legitimate employers do not charge application or processing fees. 
  2. Verify Employer Details – Research the company before applying. Check their official website, LinkedIn, and online reviews to confirm legitimacy.
  3. Be Cautious with Personal Information – Do not share sensitive details (e.g., ID number, bank details, passwords) unless you are 100% sure of the employer’s credibility.
  4. Beware of Too-Good-to-Be-True Offers – High salaries with no experience required or instant hiring are often red flags. If it seems too easy, be cautious.
  5. Use Official Channels – Apply directly through the company’s website or verified job portals rather than random emails or WhatsApp numbers.
  6. Avoid Unofficial Interviews – If invited for an interview at an unfamiliar location, confirm the company’s office address and opt for public places for initial meetings.
